About

Gaucho Brazilian Barbecue in Calgary is an authentic South American restaurant that provides guests with a taste of the culture as much as the food. With a focus on cowboy fare that the gauchos of Rio Grande do Sul would love, the menu features meat dishes that include sirloin, sausage, pork loin and chicken wings.

At Gaucho Brazilian Barbecue, diners eat �rodizio� style, allowing the chef to come to them with massive skewers of meat dishes to choose from. The dish will then be sliced directly onto their plates and will continue to be served until guests say they�ve had enough. The Gaucho Brazilian Barbecue promise is that you won�t leave hungry, ever.

Bring the flavours of Brazil to any event! From Stampede and office parties to birthdays and weddings, Gaucho adds exotic flare to any gathering. Choose from buffet or seated-service options and enjoy the most mouth-watering cuisine north of Brazil.

A carnivore's delight with an excellent - and very tasty! - selection of salads and other vegetables, we enjoyed our dinner at Gaucho's. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the rounds with the meat selections on a regular basis. We will definitely go back again!

Dinner tasted good, some of the meat cuts were great. However, the compliments buffet items were lacking some. Unfortunately being a table of 2, we were often lost customer service-wise, to a much larger table next to us of at least 10, I guess the servers know where their tippers are. The coziness of the restaurant was nice, and would be significantly better when not seated next to large tables. The coffee was much too strong for my dinner companion, and trying to get some additional hot water/cream for it proved difficult; not really sure why this seemed such an issue. If you go, be prepared for a carnivores dream, but somewhat disappointing compliments buffet.

If you want a variety of delicious meats, this is the place to go. Go light on the appetizer buffet --it's not really worth it but start your meal with a little bit of veg just to say you did --and then flip your card to "GO" and let the meat frenzy begin. It's not something you want to do every week but a couple of times a year won't hurt. My son was turning 10 and this is where he wanted to go for his family birthday dinner. It's great for well behaved kids with a good appetite for meat. Leave your vegetarian friends at home! The atmosphere is not fancy but it's pleasant enough and inviting. Wine list is limited but there's a good variety and you can get a bottle for $35 and under which is always nice for a casual meal.

Our waiter brought water and drinks in a timely manner, then did not appear again until repeated beckonings got his attention for the dessert menu. Likewise for the bill.The "gauchos" appeared to see who could get to the most tables in the shortest time! Did not have time to finish one serving before there were two more there!Any of the meats offered our table were very overdone and not very flavourful. The salad and sides buffet poor and quite sparse.Overall a 2 out of 10....... a very overpriced charge for a less than mediocre meal . An experience not to be repeated. Don't believe the hype about the "best" Brazillianbbq in Calgary...it is not!

The service started out great and stayed that way until almost the end it was a little lax come dessert time but understandably so as it was getting very busy. The food was more than awesome and never a lack of it my wife and I were really impressed. We would recomend the experience here to anyone and will be back again.

We were party of 8, and were advised any table over six 6 have 18% gratuity added which was fine. Except the service was basically non-existent. We waited for menus and water then the waiter never came back to get our order until we had already been to the salad bar. We had other servers start to take our orders, then the waiter would come over and we'd have to repeat what we wanted. This was the same with our coffee order. As well, we advised at the beginning that we wanted separate bills. At the end of the meal, we spent ten minutes trying to locate the waiter, all other patrons had left. The food was great, but it was a gong show and I would think twice before returning. 18% doesn't equate to No Service!!

I had been to the old location and this was the first time at the new restaurant. The meat served at the table was delicious, the salad bar offerings were fresh and well prepared, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Regards, Wayne

I rather enjoyed this visit. I honestly didn't know what to expect, and although I'm sure the owners would not want to see Bolero's name in their review, I must compare this place favorably to Bolero. I prefer this environment - while not as "flashy" as Bolero, it is more comfortable, by FAR, and more relaxed. The service was excellent, and the food was outstanding.

My only disappointment is that grilled pineapple is a menu item, as opposed to part of the general food. Other than that minor gripe of my own, the food was excellent. I will definitely be back!

While the service was great - the food left something to be desired. The quality and variety of meats did not compare to what is offered at Bolero. We only counted about 7 different offerings that came to our table over 90 minutes. (8 if you include the chicken hearts) The beef offerings tasted like they were a cheap cut of meat. The sirloin steak was very rare. The bacon wrapped chicken was good - however it was much more bacon than chicken.

The wine list was quite small as well - not much to choose from the glass, and only a handful of selections by the bottle.

all the veggie dishes were cold, would have been nice to have hot veg sides. the bacon wrapped chicken was pressed chicken. otherwise amazing amszing meats and quick service. beef parmigiana was my favourite, the sirloin and pork divine!

I am very choosy about restaurants because I like to cook and create in my kitchen so I tend to be quite critical. I heard about this particular place through a friend, and I must say I was pretty excited - we drove 2 hours to get there. My husband was a bit hesitant, but as I told him, I was going there as much for the dining experience as the menu. The experience was fabulous! Our server was upbeat and explained the process to us "newbies". We were never rushed through the dining experience - we were allowed to take our time vs. being pressured to turn over the table. There also was not one dish that I did not like, and I tried a little bit of everything! I am definately going again.

No explaination given as to how the Brazilian steakhouse works. Food was extremely slow to come out. Missed our table a few times. Definitely not worth the amount of money spent considering. Automatic 18% gratuity unreasonable. Staff looked overwhelmed.

The parking is really bad at this location. We had to park in an adjacent lot and hoof it to the restaurant. I am new to this eating experience and the food was quite nice. Beef aplenty. We found the meat tender a reasonably flavourful. Was not a fan of the chicken and the pork was a tad dry. Salads were in abundance and tasty but I was not over the moon with them. If you happen to like your meat med-well done side you will not enjoy this experience. Most of the beef was quite red and on the rare-med side. Service from the skewer guys was constant. Our waitress was not. Overall the $ value is reasonable for the expectation.
